Peter Mbae, Head of Government Delivery Services, resigns due to unresolved issues raised by Chief of Staff Felix Koskei.
Peter Mbae was appointed in June last year by the Public Service Commission.
Seasoned public servant Dr. Peter Mbae formally resigned from his position as Head of Government Delivery Services (GDS), citing unresolved issues that hindered his ability to effectively carry out his duties.
His resignation highlights potential governance challenges and unresolved administrative issues within the government, as suggested by the trend associated with his resignation.
Why Peter Mbae resigned?
Mbae claimed that there were systemic inefficiencies or bureaucratic hurdles that hindered his ability to effectively carry out his duties. That involved delays in decision-making, lack of coordination between departments, or inadequate systems for tracking and managing service delivery.
A failure in the administrative process where grievances or operational concerns are not addressed promptly or effectively led to frustration and eventually led to his resignation.
According to sources, issues like corruption, nepotism, or tribalism in government created an environment where merit-based management and integrity are compromised.
Critics now claim that Dr Mbae’s resignation could also reflect on the leadership style of those in higher positions, like Felix Koskei, where there might be a lack of accountability or willingness to tackle and resolve the issues brought forward by subordinates.
